Welcome! Good to have you here. Greetings from Scotland :smiley:

Scary! Praying for protection for God's people in these troubling times. As the bible says 'In the last days terrible times will come' (2 Tim 3:1). God Bless All.

Hello Peter, I left a church that split in 2007. It left me feeling very anxious attending new churches for about a year. Sometimes I would get to the door of the church I was intending to visit, turn around and go home. But in 2009 I started attending the church I'm now in. It wasn't easy at...

Congratulations for our American brothers and sisters. I hope you get good government for the next few years. At least you have a shot now at curtailing abortion. :gd
